We installed the Alpine CDA-9811 to replace the factory radio. I have an existing CHAS-634, w/c I have tested works w/ the CDA-9811. However, for a clean install I think I need to route the AI-Net cable from the changer to the center aisle to the receiver. I think this is the direction that the amplifier cable took.

I am not sure whether we need to remove the back seat to route the cable, but it appears right now that we have to.

How does one remove the back seat of an X5 2001?

I figured it out, just pull the seats up. The carpet attaches to latch underneath the seats.
